It should. The deal has too many steps. At one end of the spectrum, there's the deal where you check out, get the invoice from Amazon's online store, and have a tracking number. At the other end of the spectrum, you've got this deal that sounds more like a ransom drop than a camera sale. |

One thing that lots of confidence games have in common, is they take things that are YOUR responsibility, and YOUR choice to make, and make them FOR YOU, passing it off as if it's a favor to you. In this case, he's taking the burden off of you to validate his credibility. He will send you a photocopied paper that looks like Amazon.com letterhead. That sure would instill a sense of confidence in me! (Sarcasm.) By the way, I looked at Amazon and didn't see anything remotely similar to the deal you posted. Already pulled? |

Gey market just means overseas without a US warranty. This stuff sounds stolen to me. Maybe stolen overseas? "james" wrote in message news:SGDee.16229$_K.14805@fed1read03...

Let me know when your $600 box of bricks shows up.
I'm thinking grey market/stolen/scam. I had the displeasure of talking to some ass chime at Broadway Photo (scam artists with an attitude) and even their grey/imported 20D was $1K. |

The grey marketeer buys, say, Nikons legally in Singapore, and sends them to the USA. He bypasses Nikon USA, which means that the product doesn't have the Nikon USA warranty. If (Singapore Price + Currency conversion + Cost of Shipping + Cost of Customs transactions + markup) (Official Nikon USA price), the grey marketeer can sell the products at a discount to the USA price. -- Joe Makowiec http://makowiec.org/ Email: http://makowiec.org/contact/?Joe |
